We loved our stay at Laura’s House. Alessandro was very welcoming and helpful with his check-in and the place was a quiet oasis for us to relax at the end of a busy day in Florence. The kitchen is fully equipped so we even had the option to make our first home cooked meal of the trip. The location is great, a quick bus ride from the centre of Florence and in a beautiful quiet part of town.

Great little place. We were not allowed to use the comfortable bed and were told to sleep on the couch. I thought it was strange. We paid for the whole place but were told that using the bed would cost extra.

Home away from home.

The property was nice and cozy. The owner was very kind and explained the free and pay parking options for our rental car. If you want to go into Florence city center from this location, I highly suggest using the bus system.

Great stay in Florence

I had an absolutely wonderful stay in Florence! The apartment was perfectly located, just a short walk from the city center and all the major attractions. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail made it feel like a home away from home. I couldn’t have asked for a better base to explore this stunning city. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our two days at Laura's Place very much. We asked permission to check-in a bit early and that was no problem. Alessandro gave us a very friendly welcome and explained everything in detail. The apartment is spacious, clean and well-maintained with everything necessary for a comfortable stay and we would be happy to stay here again

Quiet Neighborhood.

Great clean apartment, but a good distance from the Central Town, be prepared to take a Taxi to and from the location everyday, $20-$25 Euros each way. We found a Pastry Bakery down the road that sells Bus tickets for $1.70 Euro each, so we took Bus to city and Taxi back at nights. We did not cook but it has a full kitchen. Alexandro was very nice and called a taxi to the Train station Novella for us $27.00 Euros. Off to Venice now!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤪🤪🤪

A stay in the Ultrano

This apartment is so nice. It's on a bus route. You can walk to Florence or hop a bus. It's near Piazza Michangelo, i walked there and back and I am over 70. The #12 or 13 bus will also take you there. It's a really nice place to stay. I highly recommend it.

Toll gelegene, angenehme Wohnung.

Eine ideale Wohnung für alle, die abseits der großen Touristenströme und dennoch recht nah am Zentrum einerseits und den schönen Hügeln südlich der Stadt sein wollen. Wir sind in 5 Tagen nicht einmal in den Bus gestiegen, denn auch auf den Wegen zur Stadt oder in die Gartenanlagen gibt es viel zu entdecken, gerade dann wenn man nicht immer die Via Senese geht, sondern auf Umwegen unterwegs ist. Die Bäckerei, welche die Straße stadtauswärts in 5 Fussminuten erreichbar ist, ist toll. Wir empfehlen den Tuhnfischsandwich und die Pizza mit Kartoffeln und Rosmarien ganz besonders, doch eigentlich hat alles geschmeckt, was wir probiert haben. Die nächst gelegenen Pizzerien sind gut und alles andere als Tourifallen, es verirrenen sich sowieso eher wenige so "weit" nach draußen. Zur Wohnung selbst: Der Empfang war sehr nett und herzlich, es war alles da, was wir brauchten, wir haben aber auch nur einmal gekocht und da kein Festmahl. Der Balkon nach hinten raus ist sehr schön, um den ersten Kaffee des Tages zu trinken, das Bett in Schlafzimmer ist sehr gut, die Schlafcouch für Kinder super, der ein oder andere ältere Erwachsene wird da vielleicht nicht glücklich, sprich vier ältere Erwachsene mit Rückenproblemen würden da wohl Streichhölzer ziehen... Da die Schlafcouch in der Galerie über der großen Wohnküche ist, ist es aber sowieso eher eine Familienwohung. Wir haben uns jedenfalls sehr wohl gefühlt und falls es uns mal wieder nach Florenz verschlägt, würden wir sie wieder buchen.
